Police detective Dick Tracy (Morgan Conway) must solve a series of vicious murders in which varied victims from different social and economic backgrounds are slashed to death. Based on the comic strip character created by Chester Gould and directed by William A. Berke (I SHOT BILLY THE KID). The first in a four series film franchise featuring the famed comic strip character Dick Tracy. These are low budget quickies (this one is barely over an hour long) that are moderate fun although done without any style or flair. Conway seems chosen to play Dick Tracy more because of his resemblance to the comic strip character than any acting ability. Not that he's bad, mind you but he just seems to be reciting lines. For a 1945 movie, I found it surprisingly violent. With Anne Jeffreys, Jane Greer, Mike Mazurki and Tommy Noonan.
